Money to buy an amp and a Fender is trivial and come and goes (assuring you don't buy them or other trivial things every month :P), 20 thousand bucks of debts when you're young are a huge amount of money expecially to buy things like a car that have no future value.
Love is deep, but how you're going to feel when you will say to your children "Sorry guys, no college for you, mom has spent all our founds to do that beautiful cruiser at Bahamas. By the Way you can watch her photos!!!" will be a LITTLE upsetting.
First: learn how to save up some money. Then we can talk about making things seriously.
My parents are divorced also because my father was a Big Spender and my mother a compelling moneysaver.
When my father was young and I was little (like 10 years old) he had a Mercedes-Benz, a Golf Cabriolet, and a Porsche 911. Now we don't have the money for my brother's flying school and I had to work in summer in order to pay me the college fees (that fortunately aren't as expensive as in the US).
Obviusly if you are only dating, nothing to worry about.
